Wood Boring Beetle Life Cycle

 Wood boring beetle adults lay eggs in the cracks and crevices of wooden objects, floorboard, timbers or any other expose wood.

 Once these eggs hatch, larvae of the beetle burrow through the wood which is why it is hard to notice them.

 In order to grow, the larvae needs sugar starch, so it feeds on wood for several years and create a maze of tunnels in the process which eventually cause structural damage to your property.

When the larva matures and increases in size, it bore towards wood surface to pupate and develop into adults.

Adults then emerge from the wood by eating its way out of the timber creating tiny pin size holes in the wood.
